BHAKTI IS IMMORTAL

"By attaining It, a man becomes perfect, Immortal and satisfied forever."
                -Narada Bhakti Sutras

Sri Ramakrishna once said to Narendra (Swami Vivekananda): God is the Ocean of Amrita, Immortality.  "Suppose there is  nectar of love  in a vessel; how will you enjoy it?" Narendra replied: "I shall sit in the corner of the vessel which contains nectar and then sip from there."  Sri Ramakrishna smiled and said: "Why not from inside, from the depths of it?" Narendra replied:  "Oh no! For, then I shall die." Sri Ramakrishna laughed at this, and said: "It is not of that nature. When one drowns in that love, one never dies because it is 'amrta', immortality itself". 

("Bhakti is immortal and it makes one who tastes it also immortal.")

-Swami Bhuteshananda
